The Devil Amongst the Lawyers by Sharyn McCrumb
3.0
I understand that the book isn't really about the murder trial, but about how it was covered by reporters, but it felt as if 3/4ths of the novel was set-up for a very anticlimactic (and incredibly short) story that offered very little pay-off.
As someone from East Tennessee, I do appreciate McCrumb's approach. To this day, the region is incredibly misunderstood, so it was nice to read a novel that highlights the ridiculous stereotypes that have been (and continue to be) perpetuated in the media.
